How to draw FJORD

Fjord is a new tangle by CZT Diana von Kaenel, one of three CZTs in Switzerland.

From Gimel, Switzerland, Diana was a member of the CZT15 class in June and this is her first tangle pattern on the site.

According to Google, a fjord is “a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs, as in Norway and Iceland, typically formed by submergence of a glaciated valley.” And Diana writes that the inspiration for Fjord came while on a cruise:

“I was on a very big boat between Denmark and Norway for a little cruise. Inside, a lot of very nice shops. I found this pattern on a dress. And as you can see it inspire me so much.. :0)

I discover during its development that inside appears the whole card deck with the hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs … if you can see it..“

In this case, Fjord is another lovely tangle to add to our collection and I know you’ll have fun with it.

Diana illustrates the step-by-step instructions for drawing Fjord below and shows several ways to vary her tangle.
